You can use the terms "and" & "or" in your search; "or" phrases are resolved
first, then the "and" phrases. For example, searching for "black hole and
galaxy or universe" will find articles that have the phrase "black hole" in them
and also have either "galaxy" or "universe" in them. Please note that other
search syntax like quote marks, hyphens, etc. are not currently supported.

When you view web pages with matches to your search, the terms you searched for will be highlighted in yellow.

If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.

Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered. If you have your own novel physics theory or model, which you would like to post for further discussion among then FQXi community, then please add them directly to the "Alternative Models of Reality" thread, or to the "Alternative Models of Cosmology" thread. Thank you.

A new dynamic process, Dynamic Incremental Scale Transition (DIST), is proposed that could explain the progression of time and resolve long standing issues in physics and cosmology. The semi-discrete DIST process, which preserves the spacetime geometry, agrees with astronomical observations and offers a link between General Relativity and Quantum Theory. Key words: Dynamic Incremental Scale Transition, New Cosmology, Progression of Time, Scale Equivalence, Dark Energy, Quantum Theory from General Relativity, Origin of Inertia

I am an independent researcher who has published extensively on cosmology and physics.

i read your essay just now. Being late to see such an innovative approach makes me feel a bit guilty in not coping up with other contributions here in the contest.

I enjoyed the freshness of approach. You could do it because you are free from the professional bias one developes when active in a profession. You appear to be a freelance person with genuine interest in physics and cosmology. It is jice to see that consider your DIST approach to cause very high frequency oscillations with very low magnitude to affect the space/time universe that is following a scale expanding growth.Interstingly you conclude that theuniverse does not necessarily comply what we currently believe to be ' the laws of Physics'. The natural compliance with the wave/particle duality is another off-shoot that interest any common man.

i need time to digest your approach better, but i don't feel you need to worry about its general acceptance in the present. Normally, professional physicist develop a bias towards what is accepted easily by the so-called peers in the field. i myself have had such experiences. But if one persists and work hard and genuinely, there is nothing to worry about what others think. More over, i also believe that the cosmological data currently available may get substantially upgraded as soon as cosmological telescopes go farther away in space with respect to our home, the earth. it happened to the mineral constitution of moon through remote measurements as soon as actual samples came from the moon. The figures had to be drastically revised, beyond the usual errors one attributes/evaluates about one's data!

In my own essay in this contest, i have provided some perspectives about the mysteries of the dark matter and energy, believing these conjectures to be true. you may like to comment after a study of the essay. On posts there , i have added two other preceeding manuscripts, one of which deals with' Inconstancy of the Physical Constants and Strengths of the Force/fields'. Current beliefs may have to be revised if one has to understand the universe in the first billion years of its life, i.e. 'the laws of physics do not seem to hold then', as agreed to currently!

Hello Johan,

very nice. thank you. arriving as it did in the flurry of last minute entrants, i'm concerned that it won't get the attention it should or would likely have received earlier here.

thanks again.

Dear matt kolasinski,

Thanks you for your nice comments. I don't know if I inadvertently clicked on the 'report post as inappropriate' button, which I certainly did not mean to do.

Dear Narendra,

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. The first sentence in your essay reads: ‘Both change and conservation are the features required to describe the Universe.’

I think this is a profound insight. As humans we have always felt the need to confine our existence to a limited place in both space and time. Maybe this is to avoid confronting our smallness in comparison to the immense vastness of the universe. But, gradually over the millenniums we have become aware of our utter physical insignificance in the world. Now our last holdout is going to fall; we will come to realize that there is no beginning or end of time.

To make eternal existence possible a dynamic process must exist that makes time progress and powers the world forever. The expansion of both space and time could do this, and the resulting cosmos would agree with all our observations. Furthermore, it would mean the existence of dimensions ‘beyond space and time’ given by vibrating metrics of spacetime, which would make the missing connection between general relativity and quantum mechanics. It would also explain the origin of Inertia. However, this new insight will require revision of physics going all the way back to Galileo, leaving most modern theories of the universe behind on the ash heap of history.
